how do you feel about the new tf2 leaks?
Oh it big sucks!
listen, this leak honestly makes me so mad im not even joking. not because of like, leaks like this cause so much trouble for the developers who own them (in how to combat it), or for the source licencees who are affected by the leak, but WHO it affects in this community.
say you've been working a beta recreation of 2Fort from Trailer 2 (since it's the version with the most footage), you've been working on it in your spare time for the past... 6 years lets say. you know the ins and outs of this map, you've watched footage and studied screenshots from around August 2006, and you've made an intense list of all the eras of 2Fort to ensure you have a timeline of eras so you know which to avoid and such.
so your beta 2Fort recreation is as accurate it can be from all the public media you could find from it. you've even gotten the sewers to be as low as they were in the beta combined with the higher water. there's some things left to your interpretation of the map, since the sewers have never been shown for example, and you push it out for people to play around on. this was basically your hobby for the past 6 years, and it meant so much to you to be able to create something with a love you can't put to words.
suddenly. the worst thing imaginable. a month after you post it? an entire developer repo leaks. and lets pretend it's got that version of 2Fort intact. that's a serious gut punch BUT, then you get comments from folks like "oh the actual 2fort leaked" "this is obsolete now" "oh well a recreation couldn't ever top a leak". it's demoralizing. it breaks their spirit for something they worked so hard on. the one thing you loved working on? well seemingly it doesn't matter now to the community you painstakingly made it for.
that's what hurts for me, is the people who've created content based off of things from TF2 (like the Spellcasters Witch), whom have made it from scratch, added their own personal touches like different outfits and hairstyles, to the ability to allow the user to recolour every part of that outfit. then a leak comes along and it seems everyone's ferally knashing their teeth at this leak. no leak can ever come close to the kind of love community members put into stuff.
that's why i hate this leak. and even with the 60 gigabytes of stuff that's leaked? people are still like "oh well this doesn't have everything 🙄". like sorry 60GB wasn't enough for you?
i hope we never see a TF2 leak again. this shit sucks and i hate the community around it.

Kinda scared this boobvember daily prompt thing is gonna completely ruin how I want my blog to be perceived per se. Like yeah, I'm not necessarily opposed to these things being here from time to time, but I just feel like with how concentrated full-on nsfw stuff'd be if I kept up with and posted from that prompt list every day this month that I'd be warping what I want my blog to be.
Yeah, my characters can be appealing, but I just don't want that to be the only thing they're seen as, y'know? I'm afraid they would only be seen as something sexual or something because that's what I've inadvertently connected them to. Who knows, maybe I'm overthinking this, and people are better than just immediate ojectification, but I've seen so much of that exact thing that I'm just really scared. My OCs are fully fleshed out people who have stories. Who've lived whole lives
All of this to say I might not actually publically post a whole lot of these at all, if any anymore. That's not how I want my characters to be seen.

Currently banging my head against the fucking walls having a discussion with a parent about supplies.
"I don't think they got a supply list"
OH?! You mean the one in the syllabus I emailed everyone that I also printed out a copy of and is hanging in the art classroom at all times? Or the email I sent out SPECIFICALLY about supplies that also had LINKS to said materials? Or the CONSTANT REMINDERS ABOUT UPCOMING LESSONS AND WHAT THEYLL NEED???

Misc sailing team au dynamic brainworms
420 sailing partners with skipper who thinks they’re in charge because they have the tiller and always yells for port right of way and crew who’s done with their skipper bossing them and having to do everything.
Skipper yelling at crew for not rolling enough on the tack and crew swings the boom on purpose into skippers head on the next gybe
crew is on the trapeze wire and skipper does a mean tack, doesn’t give them warning to unhook and jokes about how sailors can die from not unhooking from the wire in time, capsizing and being wrangled to death under water by the trap
Screaming at the autobailers making the boat a pool… and why is it up to our knees?!? (Universal experience, a cut up milk container is your bestie now, I don’t make the rules)
Duct-taping the autobailers shut out of spite (as you should)
Skipper yelling about blisters from main sheet and crew yells back telling them to shut up and hike to flatten the boat before the capsize and just wear the damn gloves
Skipper who yells at crew about how they’re hips aren’t hanging off the boat so they’re hiking incorrectly (let’s be real, they just wants to stare at their crew) and whines about not wanting to capsize so flatten the damn boat.
Crew deadpans by telling them they can’t even trapeze and boat balance so handle your stupid steering stick properly.
Crew: WHY ARE YOU STEERING INTO IRONS ?! Did they not teach you sailing directly into the wind is a no?!
Crew whose role definition involved planing strategy for the regatta and stubborn skipper who won’t listen because I’m steering, I choose
Skipper saying they’re gonna tack, forgot directions, goes for a gybe instead, gets crew whacked in head by boom amidst confusion
THE duo that gets a black flag on the start line and has to forfeit the race
Skipper: WHAT IF WE DO A PORT TACK BARGE START ?!
Crew: … WHY? And cross tack the entire fleet?! (Of like 50 boats?)
Skipper: *excited eye glimmer*
Crew:…. *inhibitor side slipping and begins enabling*
Comes in last place, but hey, what’s a regatta without someone trying that?
Crew staring into the skippers soul on the start line like do not fuck up. And skipper begs them to just not sit in the crew box and face backwards because it’s scary. Crew retorts that this is proper crew posting so skipper should just shut the fuck up (skipper is kinda impressed their crew can backwards navigate left from right and not vomit, does not admit)
Dumps dirty bailer water on each other
Skying halliards and climbing the mast
Etc etc
